My T self discloses a bit. I like knowing he's a real human being. We both talk and we both listen. He mostly talks about things that relate to me but sometimes he talks about himself. His dissertation, views on certain subjects, the psychology field (because I'm interested in going to Uni for this), his own shortcomings as they relate to mine a bit (not in great detail).

I think it helps to make our relationship closer. More 'real'. I think a lot of great work will be done by our willingness to relate to each other. This works for me.
